Swedish Elitserien Round 5

SWEDISH ELITSERIEN ROUND 5 - PREVIEW

 

The following line-ups have been nominated, as of Sunday evening, for the 5th round of the Swedish Elitserien which will be held on Tuesday, weather permitting...

 

PIRATERNA

1. Grzegorz Walasek, 2. Michal Szczepaniak, 3. Kenneth Bjerre, 4. Mikael Max, 5. Ryan Sullivan, 6. Damian Balinski, 7. Tobias Ingesson, 8. Christian Ingesson

 

VÄSTERVIK

1. Bjarne Pedersen, 2. Chris Harris, 3. Tomasz Gollob, 4. Niels-Kristian Iversen, 5. Sebastian Ulamek, 6. Billy Forsberg, 7. Tomasz Chrzanowski, 8. Viktor Bergström

 

The Pirates have replaced Stefan Andersson from last week with Damian Balinski who will enter at reserve. Västervik have nominated Billy Forsberg at six but rumours are that Billy is sick and will be replaced by Viktor Bergström.

 

Västervik, the only team with all wins after four rounds, have won all three meetings in Motala since Piraterna entered Elitserien back in 2004, and their solid line-up will once again be hard to beat and Västervik may actually be favourites in my eyes.

 

*-*-*

 

MASARNAAVESTA

1. Billy Hamill, 2. Simon Stead, 3. Antonio Lindbäck, 4. Dave Watt, 5. Leigh Adams, 6. Daniel Davidsson, 7. Linus Sundström, 8. Robin Bergqvist

 

SMEDERNA

1. Rory Schlein, 2. Eric Andersson, 3. Krzysztof Kasprzak, 4. Krzysztof Buczkowski, 5. Wieslaw Jagus R/R, 6. Linus Eklöf, 7. Morten Risager, 8. Robert Henderson

 

The Blacksmiths faces a tough task at Avesta. Wieslaw Jagus will be missing and Riders Replacement will be used to cover his absence, but fellow Pole Krzysztof Buczkowski will be missing as well. After his crash in Poland on Sunday, Buczkowski will be gone for about a month according to local paper Eskilstuna-Kuriren. It is assumed that Andre Compton will take the number 4 race jacket.

 

MasarnaAvesta are at full strenght as they have opted to bring Leigh Adams into the line-up for this one, making the home side huge favourites in the progress.

 

*-*-*

 

DACKARNA

1. Hans Andersen, 2. Peter Karlsson, 3. Fredrik Lindgren, 4. Christian Hefenbrock, 5. Andreas Jonsson, 6. Robin Törnqvist, 7. Ricky Kling, 8. Joachim Engstrand

 

KAPARNA

1. Rafal Szombierski, 2. Chris Louis, 3. Rafal Dobrucki, 4. Kim Jansson, 5. Renat Gafurov, 6. Tomas Karlsson, 7. Stefan Dannö, 8. Mikael Berntsson

 

Kaparna, last in the standing, will surely be on the wrong side of another hammering. Stefan Dannö takes a place at reserve instead of Pawel Hlib. Does Hlib ride elsewhere?

 

Dackarna have scrathed Charlie Gjedde for this one, replaced by Christian Hefenbrock who makes his season debut. Robin Törnqvist regains his place at reserve instead of Emil Kramer, despite Kramer's paid seven in Vetlanda last week.

 

*-*-*

 

INDIANERNA

1. Niklas Klingberg, 2. Magnus Zetterström, 3. Matej Ferjan, 4. Rafal Okoniewski, 5. Piotr Protasiewicz, 6. Roman Povazhny, 7. Simon Gustafsson, 8. Ludvig Lindgren

 

HAMMARBY

1. Jesper B Jensen, 2. Joonas Kylmäkorpi, 3. Nicki Pedersen, 4. Adam Shields, 5. Scott Nicholls, 6. Tomasz Gapinski, 7. Robert Pettersson, 8. Kim Nilsson

 

Henrik Gustafsson remains on the sideline after his crash in Eskilstuna a couple of weeks ago, Roman Povazhny continues at reserve. Niklas Klingberg is back in the line-up instead of Kaj Laukkanen who didn't have the best of days in round four.

 

Nicki Pedersen will be missing after his Eskilstuna crash, Tomasz Gapinski moves to number three while Krzysztof Jablonski takes Gapinski's place at number six, according to Hammarby's website.

 

*-*-*

 

ROSPIGGARNA

1. Greg Hancock, 2. Adrian Miedzinski, 3. Janusz Kolodziej, 4. Travis McGowan, 5. Jonas Davidsson, 6. Chris Slabon, 7. Andreas Messing, 8. Jonas Andersson

 

ELIT VETLANDA

1. Jason Crump R/R, 2. Adam Skornicki, 3. Jaroslaw Hampel, 4. Lee Richardson, 5. Rune Holta, 6. Niklas Larsson, 7. Thomas H Jonasson, 8. Robin Aspegren

 

Rospiggarna are still missing Karol Zabik due to a contract dispute, but are otherwise bolstering a full side, if Travis McGowan makes a comeback after his injury. He was missing for Reading on Monday evening and must be considered a questionmark for Tuesday's meeting. Rospiggarna have a strong record against Elit Vetlanda in Hallstavik, winning the four previous meetings by 49-47, 50-46, 49-47 and 48-47 (last year).

 

Elit Vetlanda have huge problems with injuries at the moment, and will be without Jason Crump for this match, with Riders Replacement in use according to Elit Vetlanda's website. Tomasz Jedrzejak got injured in Poland on Sunday and Peter Ljung is still on the sideline, but both should be back in a not too distant future. The trio of Holta, Hampel and Richardson will surely have 7 heats each as Elit Vetlanda will struggle to keep it close.

As I will be going to Hallstavik (Rospiggarna), the results may take until Wednesday evening to appear on this thred, unless another forum member will post them.

I was in Kumla tonight for the meeting with Hamarby..

 

was a good meeting only marred by Adam shields and the 2 team managers being fined 500 swedish krona each because Adam failed to clear the track in time after sliding off in the last heat when Jesper B Jensen was 3rd..

 

Also good to see Kylmakorpi getting up from a big crash to win the re-run in heat 12
